100 Gumpdrops

100 Gumballs for the 100th Day

I got this cute idea from Little Miss Glamorous Goes to Kindergarten blogspot and wanted to let my kinders try it out.  They loved it! 

A New School Year

Getting ready for a new school year.......

Lunch Choices

Student names are printed with a label maker and placed on a clothespin.  When the students enter the classroom, they will find their name and make their lunch choice by clipping clothespin on the side of the container by their choice.

100th day puzzle

To prepare: put the puzzle together, flip the pieces over and number them in order 1-100. Each day a student will find the next number on the puzzle pieces and glue it to the puzzle board (cardboard cut to size). On the 100th day of school, this puzzle will be complete!

What Center Do I Go To?

Students know what center they go to by looking at the crayons on the board.  The students will find their color of table that they sit at and the picture below shows which center.

Welcome Bags

On the first day of school each student gets a welcome bag.

Kindergarten Reminders:

pencil - there are many things to learn

penny - YOU are valuable star - always shine and do your best eraser - it's okay to make mistakes
life saver - I’m always here to help
band aid - together we can make things better
chocolate hug - you are cared for
gum - we always stick together

feather - I'm tickled you're in my class!

 Seat Pockets

My wonderful mom made seat pockets for my classroom.  I have red, yellow, blue, green, and purple seat pockets to match my tables.  Students know where they sit by looking for their name on the

clip-on name badge.  What can you find inside the pockets? a student mini office, a bag of crayons, and an alphabet strip from phonics curriculum.

Student Mini Offices

Student offices are not only tools of reference for each child but also classroom dividers.

Spot the Dog

Spot is ready to 'spot' good behavior!  When good behavior/smart choices are 'spotted' the student gets to feed Spot a bone. When the students earn 10 bones, they get a treat from the treasure box. Then the students have to earn 20 bones to get a treat from the treasure box. After that, they earn 30......

Name Tags

For backpacks and coats: We have hooks in the back of the room.  Students know where they should hang their backpacks and coats by finding their name under the hook.  To prepare glue name badge holder under hook.  Write names on name tags and slide name tag into place.

Our cubbies are for books and other school things:  Glue on name badge holders. Write names on name tags and slide into place.

 My awesome husband made mailboxes for our class.  The mailboxes are for our finished work.  Shelf clips from Really Good Stuff are snapped onto the shelf.  Write names on labels and slide them into place.

For the students: name badges and clips are attached to the seat pockets so students know where to sit.

Lunchboxes

Leaky lunchboxes don't go in backpacks or in cubbies. They go in the lunchbox basket!  (Much easier to clean!)

Power Rules

Power rules are posted above my calendar wall.  We chant and sign our power rules every morning. At the beginning of the year, students also have a Power Rules booklet to take home and read to their family.

More 100th Day of Kindergarten

Partner Dice Game

Partners take turns rolling a die and coloring that many squares on a 100 chart.  When the 100 chart is filled in, the partner who colored the most squares wins the game.



100 Starburst Search

We look for 100 Starburst candies in our room, read the number on the Starburst, and match it to the number on the 100 chart.

100th Day Buddies

Our 5th grade buddies helped us count our 100 collections by 1s, 2s, 5s, and 10s.  They also voted on our collections!  We received awards such as The Greatest Collections of All, The Stickiest Collection, The Most Unique Collection, and The Most Colorful Collection.

100th Day Cupcakes

We had a wonderful parent make us a cupcake treat for the 100th day of school!

100 Hungry Ants

After reading the story 100 Hungry Ants by Elinor Pinczes, we used 100 charts (colored like picnic blankets) to find missing numbers.  We played the game, Mend the Number Square. (I hope to find some plastic ants to use with this game next year!)

100 Chart Puzzles

Just print some 100 charts on colored cardstock, laminate, and cut into puzzle pieces.  We used complete 100 charts to help us put our puzzles together at first, then we put our puzzles together without help!

Our 100 Collections Predictable Chart

Our predictable chart was about our 100th day collections.  We dictated sentences on Monday.  Read and tracked the print on Tuesday.  Wrote the sentences on 100th day stationary on Wednesday.  Typed our words, printed them out, cut them apart, sequenced them, and glued them to our paper on Thursday.  On Friday, we illustrated.  We laminate these pages and put them together to form a classroom book.

100th Day Trail Mix

Our 100th day trail mix had 10 marshmallows, 10 pieces of Life cereal, 10 raisins, 10 skittles, 10 M&Ms, 10 white chocolate chips, 10 peanut butter chips, 10 cheerios, 10 pretzel sticks, and

10 Goldfish crackers.

Yum!

100th Day of Kindergarten

100 Balloons

We played with 100 balloons by batting them in the air, kicking them with our feet, and rubbing them on our hair to make static electricity.  Afterward we popped them!

A Puzzling Picture

Find numbers on a 100 chart and color in to reveal a surprise!

This idea came from The Mailbox Magazine February Reproducibles.

Another 100 Chart Activity

We used a large deck of cards and found the numbers on the 100 chart and colored.

The 4 and the 9 cards made the numbers 49 and 94 - we colored them blue.

100 Stamps

Use a blank 100 chart to create 100 stamps.

We used marker stamps by crayola.

100 Dot Designs

We use 100 colored dot labels on black construction paper to make cool 100 dot designs.

This is always a favorite!

100 Day Collections

Each student brings in a 100 day collection.  In the picture you can see four 100 day collections: 100 erasers, 100 baseball cards, 100 marbles, and 100 pennies.

Who has the heaviest/lightest?

We weigh our 100 day collections to see who has the heaviest collection and who has the lightest collection.  We also find out who has the longest collection and the shortest collection.

100th Day Fill in the Blank

Students complete sentences in this 100th day fill in the keepsake sheet.  You can upload photos into currency at this website: www.festisite.com/money.

 

100th Day Masks

Students create 100th day masks.  Find the pattern here.

100th Day Puzzle

On the 100th day of school our puzzle was complete!  A lucky student got to take it home!

Zero the Hero

Zero the Hero visits us every 10th day of school.  On the 100th day of school, Zero visited us wearing his 100 mask and we completed our Zero the Hero (count by 10s) book. Click here for the book.

100 Pennies

We saved a penny everyday of school.  On the 100th day of school we removed all our pennies from our Kermit the Frog bank and counted them by 1s using a 100 chart.

We counted the pennies by 2s using a 100 chart.

by 5s

and by 10s.

Then we put our 100 pennies into the 100th day of school magic box and

turned the 100 pennies into a $1!
